Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for cleaning pipes, in particular sewage pipes of household wastewater or industrial wastewater.
  • Encrustations, deposits, biofilms and deposits on walls in pipe systems are a major problem in sewers, water treatment plants in the groundwater remediation area and in industrial plants.
  • structural damage can cause closures in roadworks, eg through penetrated concrete and cracks, ingrown tree roots , After heavy rainfall events, the canals become covered with leaves, debris and the like.
  • Industrial, municipal and mining wastewater regularly contains a large supply of microbially usable nutrients, which leads to a disproportionately strong growth of biofilms on the pipe walls to pipe closures.
  • the cleaning performance of water treatment systems is reduced, the quality of the treated water is limited, there are high costs due to business interruption for complex cleaning.
  • Drainage units and drainage of tunnel systems and roads on slopes are also affected by these problems.
  • a blockage for maintenance or renovation work can already be an economic burden.
  • the conventional cleaning methods such as mechanical cleaning or normal flushing technology are pushed to their limits. Mechanical cleaning causes the risk of damage to the existing pipe. This also applies to the rinsing technique, which in addition to rinsing nozzles additionally uses slings. The rinsing technique may provide only insufficient cleaning performance for stubborn incrustations or deposits on the pipe wall due to biofilms. The long service lives in the prescribed maintenance intervals cause economic losses for the operator of the pipe systems due to longer-term cleaning work.
  • the hydrodynamic pipe cleaning has established itself especially in the sewer cleaning.
  • a flushing head is introduced into the pipe to be cleaned and supplied via a flushing hose connected to a pressurized cleaning liquid.
  • the cleaning liquid is not only used to clean the pipe walls, but generates a based on the recoil principle feed movement of the flushing head.
  • the rinsing heads on a plurality of rearwardly directed bores, so that with the outlet of the high-pressure liquid jets on the one hand, the contamination of the pipe inner walls are cleaned and on the other the rinsing head undergoes an advancing movement.
  • the flushing head must therefore only be introduced into a starting opening and then moves by itself through the pipe system. In these systems, the largest part of the working fluid is needed for the feed, wherein the working fluid passes at high speed in the opposite direction of movement to the flushing head to the pipeline.
  • a pressure jet of high kinetic energy is necessary, that is, pressures of up to several hundred bars are necessary.
  • flushing heads are operated at high pressures of up to 200 bar and with high flow rates of several 100 l / min up to 1400 l / min, however, the energy that emerges from the nozzles is converted only a fraction of the cleaning power. The predominant part is used for propulsion of the flushing head and for the removal of loose foreign bodies, such as loose stones, gravel and sand, which are derived by the flushing stream.
  • the ultrahigh-pressure water jet robotics are derived from the process of water jet cutting.
  • water jet cutting the material to be processed is separated by a high-pressure water jet.
  • This jet has a pressure of up to 6000 bar and reaches discharge speeds of up to 1000 m / s.
  • high-pressure water jet process almost all materials can be processed, from foam to sapphire.
  • the focus is on waterjet cutting, plastics processing, metalworking, leather processing and stone processing. Due to the possibility of swiveling the cutting head (3D machining), almost any complicated shapes can also be cut in space by means of a cutting vector control.
  • a device for processing channel walls of closed channels by means of high-pressure liquid jets is described with a nozzle body with at least one jet nozzle.
  • the jet nozzle is located at the front end of the device and serves to produce a forward collimated jet of liquid jet media.
  • the orientation of a beam forward includes that the beam direction coincides with the channel axis and also that the beam or beams have an angle of -90 ° ⁇ ⁇ 90 ° with respect to the channel axis, depending on the nature and extent of eliminating obstacles and attachments.
  • a sweeping is achieved for example by a rotary nozzle, in which either the nozzle body rotates itself or in the nozzle body in the region of the jet outlet a finger-like insert, for example, rotates in the cavity in front of the outlet, so that the outgoing beam rotates and as a result forms a cone-shaped jet.
  • the device comprises a carriage for moving and positioning the nozzle body in the channel and with a media supply for supplying the jet nozzle with the high-pressure jet medium.
  • the carriage and the nozzle body are designed such that both can be positioned at least along their entire underside with a distance from the wall of the channel.
  • a pneumatically or hydraulically activatable fixing pad is arranged, which is designed such that it fixes the position of the trolley in the activated state by pressing the Fixierpolsters in the channel without closing the channel.
  • the ultrahigh pressure waterjet robotics is still a very young process in pipe cleaning. It works with a working pressure of 1000 to 2500 bar.
  • the system of Mauerspecht GmbH is available on the market for high-pressure waterjet robotics.
  • the Drain-Jet Robotics® system is designed for pipe cross sections from DN 180 and allows controlled and camera-assisted removal of residues. This is done in a much shorter time than conventional milling robots or hydrodynamic pipe cleaning systems can afford.
  • the cutting of inliners, removal of lime and concrete deposits as well as the cutting of steel foreign bodies is possible in very high quality.
  • the system is limited in its field of application, since it can only be used in straight pipes and socket offsets starting at DN 250.

  • the cleaning device may further comprise a tubular running gear on which the high pressure cleaning nozzle and / or a part of the longitudinal extent of the high pressure hose is / are attached.
  • the work can be monitored by a camera with attached video data line installed in the vicinity of the high-pressure cleaning nozzle.
  • the high-pressure cleaning nozzle is pushed by means of the rod-shaped or rod-shaped pushing device to the cleaning point.
  • This system usually works with a pressure of 100bar to a maximum of 500bar.
  • steerable satellite dishwashers are available on the market. These systems use the low pressure water jet directed backwards to the pipe wall to move into the pipe. As an additional benefit, a certain cleaning effect of the back pipe is achieved. In order to be able to expertly check the condition and thus conclusions about a correct functioning or tightness of the pipes, a further camera handling process must be carried out. Solid deposits, protruding obstacles can not be eliminated with such a system.

  • a camera can also detect the operation control by transmitting the captured images to the operator.
  • a cleaning head is provided, which is additionally equipped with a camera, both of which is arranged at the end of a high-pressure hose.

  • the robot is equipped with a milling motor, which is driven electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically.
  • milling tools are mounted for the materials to be removed. With these milling tools is only one selective removal of materials possible. Due to the manual control and the milling properties of the tools, a non-contact work on the old pipe and therefore non-destructive work is not possible or only with great expenditure of time.
  • Chain slings are used to remove solid deposits such as lime, cement sludge, roots, etc.
  • the drive nozzle rotates at the same speed as the chains. This creates a well-defined grinding effect in the pipe.
  • the chains are always to be adapted to the corresponding pipe size, the surface of the old pipe is usually affected.
  • the entire work process can not be permanently monitored by means of a camera. A control of the result always takes place only at the end by a separately performed camera-driving. If the cleaning result is insufficient, the operation must then be repeated if necessary.

  • Each individual pivot drive 11a, 11b thus represents a pivoting device 11 in the sense of the present invention or is part of this.
  • the plurality of rotary actuators 11a, 11b and the associated possibility of selecting a particular pivot drive 11a, 11b with a certain bending plane and bending direction 23 of the front end portion 6a of the cleaning hose 6 also allows a deflection of the nozzle 3 about the longitudinal axis 8.
  • each pivot drive is both pivoting device or part of the pivoting device 11 and part of the device for the deflection of the nozzle 3 about the longitudinal axis eighth
  • FIG. 8 shows how the already FIG. 2 the longitudinal sectional view of a device 1 for cleaning pipes with a detailed view of a pivot drive 11, comprising a spindle motor 19, a spindle nut 21, a pivot axis 10 and a pivot arm 9 and a rotary drive 18 for the rotation of the housing 7b and the pivot drive 11 to the cleaning hose. 6 comprising a rotary drive motor 20 and a gear transmission 24.

  • the device 1 according to FIG. 8 at the attachment point of the pivot drive 11 and the pivot arm 9 in the region of the nozzle 3 at the front end portion 6a of the cleaning hose 6, no ball bearings attached.
  • the pivot drive 11 and the pivot arm 9 in this case is not rotatable around the nozzle 3 or the nozzle axis 3a and formed around the front end portion 6a of the cleaning hose 6, but firmly connected to the nozzle 3 and the front end portion 6a.
  • a rotary feedthrough 31 is provided between two tube sections.
  • the rotary union 31 is positioned between the front end region 6a of the cleaning hose 6 and the remaining part of the cleaning hose 6.
  • the rotary feedthrough 31 can also be arranged elsewhere between two tube sections or between the nozzle 3 and the cleaning tube 6.
  • the rotary feedthrough 31 allows, regardless of where it is placed, ultimately a rotation of the nozzle 3 about the longitudinal axis 8 without torsion of the cleaning hose 6.
  • a torsion of the cleaning hose 6 in the rotation of the pivot drive 11 to the cleaning hose 6 is through prevents the rotational movement of the nozzle 3 or of the front end region 6a about the longitudinal axis 8 made possible by the rotary feedthrough 31.
  • FIG. 9 schematically shows the punctual orientation of the nozzle 3 to a contamination 32 on the inner wall of the tube 2 under camera observation.
  • a selective alignment of the nozzle 3 and the jet 4a of the cleaning medium 5 from the nozzle 3 to a pollution 32 is by in the FIGS. 1 to 8 detailed illustrated devices 1 possible.
  • the nozzle 3 in a first dimension namely in the axial direction by the feed movement 16 can be aligned.
  • the pivoting movement 12, with which the nozzle 3 or nozzle axis 3a is deflectable at an angle to the longitudinal axis 8, represents a second dimension.
  • With the device for the deflection of the nozzle 3 about the longitudinal axis 8 is a third dimension for the alignment of the nozzle.
  • the devices 1 from the Figures 2 . 7 and 8th in that such a deflection of the nozzle 3 about the longitudinal axis 8 is possible even without a torsion of the cleaning hose 6.
  • the camera 13 is deflectable and alignable, so that both the detection of dirt 32 and the observation of the deflection 12 of the nozzle 3 and their orientation about the longitudinal axis 8 is facilitated.
